Emma Raducanu says she is doing everything she can to avoid withdrawing from Wimbledon – and has revealed how she has already placed herself at more risk than she would have done for any other tournament.The British No 1 declared on the eve of the SW19 event that the ‘plan right now is to play’ despite her lower-leg injury and added: ‘There are certain tournaments you’re willing to do more for, put yourself on the line more for, risk more for.‘For me, of course, Wimbledon is that. I probably pushed beyond anything that I would for any other tournament. That’s for a fact. It’s just to what extent.’I don’t think anyone can tell me I’m not going to make it worse. I just have to be aware of the risks I’m taking stepping out onto the court, weighing up if I’m willing to do that.’Raducanu is scheduled to face Croatia’s world No 61 Antonia Ruzic in the first match on No 1 Court on Monday, though has been struggling with what she described as a ‘lower leg niggle’. Emma Raducanu was in high spirits during her practice session at Wimbledon yesterday The former US Open champion was still sporting heavy strapping on her right ankle and shin Raducanu says her current plan is to play in her first round match against Antonia RuzicThe long-term injury issue was aggravated during her run to the Queen’s final two weeks ago, forcing her to pull out of events in Nottingham and Eastbourne and restricting her practise time.Raducanu managed to come through an hour-long session on the Aorangi practice courts at 11am on Sunday, though her right leg was heavily strapped up. An anxious wait then followed to see whether the 23-year-old would conduct her pre-Wimbledon press conference as required or withdraw from speaking and competing at SW19 altogether – less than 24 hours before she was due to play.The 2021 US Open champion spoke at 3.30pm on Sunday and said she was giving herself until the very last moment to take on Ruzic.Asked directly whether she would be playing on Monday, Raducanu said: ‘I’m going to do everything with my team in terms of treatment, and that’s the current plan. That’s the plan right now – to play.‘I have a lower-leg niggle that I’ve been dealing with since before Queen’s – actually from the back end of the clay-court season. I’ve been managing it. Five matches (at Queen’s) after having not competed for a while, I think it was just a lot of load. But I’m just managing it with my team as best as I possibly can, exhausting all options, and doing what we can.’Raducanu was also asked if she could give a percentage chance of playing, but she replied: ‘That’s the plan right now – to play – so I can’t go into exact numbers.’
